Good for him, but... Why on earth would anyone post that on LinkedIn?

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago (3 children)

and also pay for it to be Promoted

Either he's selling something, or his wife made him do it

[–] JBar2@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He's selling his "services" for treating "sexual addiction"

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Nothing solves a sexual addiction like an encounter with this man.

[–] theunknownmuncher@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Bro gooned out so hard it became a business opportunity 😂

So you're saying there's hope?

[–] ALoafOfBread@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago (30 children)

Wouldn't you rather hire a guy who you know ~~paid to tell people he~~ isn't cranking his hog to pictures of fat tiddies?

They’ve gentrified r/nofap

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Always has been. It always felt like a Christian beachhead into internet culture, very reminiscent of church run queer aa groups, but like, the kind where they wind up trying to get you to join because you enjoy socializing at gay bars.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 2 points 3 months ago

It always felt like a Christian beachhead into internet culture

That is because it was. So much internet bro culture is deeply rooted in US religious nuttery.

THANK G*D YOU PROTECTED ME FROM THIS E**L WORD

[–] donuts@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah the self censoring is fucking crazy. We're on this platform to escape that bullshit, and then it still comes fucking back?

That's ass. The picture itself doesn't even censor the word.

THANK G!D YOU G*T THE J+KE IN A MEME C$MMUNITY!!!

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

People can get addicted to anything. People literally get addicted to water and drink so much it dilutes the sodium in their body.
If you are going to ban porn because one freak spanks his monkey nonstop then you need to ban water as well because people can actually die from those reduced sodium levels ... but won't die from a monkey spanking porn marathon.

[–] flop_leash_973@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Complicated way of saying:

"since I don't masterbate as much I want to fuck her more."

That would have made for a more punchy LinkedIn headline as well.

[–] No1@aussie.zone 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

That makes me feel bad for both of them lol

[–] socsa@piefed.social 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Translation: I jerk off in the bathroom at work because that's the only place my wife can't catch me.

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I legit feel bad for people who can't enjoy porn with their significant other. The sex must be awful.

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Reminder, that porn addiction was made up by evangelists to push the narrative, that porn is always bad and must be banned.

This narrative, alongside with the rampant sexism and transphobia, caused a tremendous harm to my psyche, a lot more than what porn actually caused to me in my whole life (sore frenulum, and maybe that time could have been "spent better"). Humans are naturally hard wired to need it, unless they're aces, and similarly to those who are not as much into it, there are those who need sexual things much more.

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Porn addiction is as real as any other addiction, however it is not like you are getting hooked on porn after seeing one titty for a single frame.

[–] SpaceCadet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Anything that provides pleasure and triggers the reward center of the brain can be addictive. There's no need to single out porn in that discussion.

[–] SoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Bingo. Just like video games, television/movies, work, collectibles, exercise, and house pets, any activity can become problematic, but it's not the activity itself that's the problem. The issue is the underlying pathology that drives someone to unhealthy levels of engagement.

It just occurred to me how willing society is to overlook problematic behavior if it's "productive". 80 hours a week working or making art? Likely to be accepted. 80 hours a week spent collecting figurines or working on your train set? Whoa there, crazy conductor!

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago

Even if we assume that porn/sex can be addictive, maybe it could create some habitual type situation, there are still these issues:

  1. Other non-chemical addictions such as gambling are not being near as close stigmatized, only video gaming comes kind of close, and only because the very same people can blame mass shootings on it.
  2. A lot of non-chemical addictions can be overcome with the smallest of willpower. A week later I deleted Xitter from my phone I barely checked the desktop version too, and I only have Facebook because family and friends. My country Hungary made tens of thousands of gamblers quit after they banned slot machines from pubs (rare Fidesz W, even if done to drive people into casinos).
  3. Even actual chemical addictions like tobacco and alcohol is sidelined, if not outright encouraged, because "muh nashunal treshurs" like in Hungary.
  4. Porn addiction is often described as just as bad if not worse than cocaine, as a scare tactic. I'm a habitual consumer of porn, but there were times I could not get access to it and were fine, and the times I wasn't fine was due to I couldn't masturbate at all (which nowadays includes anal masturbation too), and it just seems like I have a higher drive than what other guys should have.

[–] Pringles@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

Promoted, lol. I bet his wife just wanted to humiliate him and he accepted in a bid to save the marriage.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Great, now the rest of us will need to watch more porn to take up the slack. Porn’s not going to watch itself.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

For every porn you don't watch, I'll watch twice as much.

He definitely looks like a man who is afraid to touch himself

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh he's selling help for quitting porn. Thats why it's on LinkedIn. Still weird af though

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Curious, given how many jerk-offs use LinkedIn.
